Colour Change

Hi guys

Because I have a vast amount of paint peeling I'm respraying my K11. Just for inspiration does anyone have a matt green/army green micra?

Or does anyone else have any other matt K11's?

Last year a fellow forum member posted a pic of a Micra with a American army matt green paint scheme if I remember correctly it even had a big white star painted on both front doors! B-)

My wife's eldest son

owned this car for a little while last year { though it was defected by the police and never driven by him, just stripped for parts }

That's absolutely lovely!! Its a shame it was never driven

Oh it was driven in that finish mate, by the previous owner { and the guy who resprayed it, it was originally red } hence the cops seeing it and pulling it over { my wife's son mainly bought it for the desirable rear hatch, originally from a march, with nismo wing/mid spoiler/number plate lights for jap spec square plate } it was just too cost prohibitive to try and get it off defect, also, looking like it did it attracted way to much attention

Have you considered wrapping the car?

What does defected mean?

I would love to but its a tad expensive other wise if I had the money to get it wrapped I would get the car re-sprayed

Maybe cut a hole in the roof and fit a Browning 50mm caliber!

Here in South Australia we don't have annual mots for cars ( yeah I know, great right ? ) but the police can stop you at any time if they suspect your car is unroadworthy, and the car gets a "defect notice" ( plus fine ect ) so you need to fix the defect then you have to go to an authorised engineering depot to have the vehicle inspected ( can open a can of worms eh ) and ( hopefully ) the defect lifted

What colour are you wrapping it?? I'm waiting for the warmer weather too before spraying
